Skank By Numbers Lyrics - Singles - Mustard Plug

One! Get off your seat 

Two! Stomp your boots to the beat 

Three! Throw your knees in the air 

Four! Like you don't care 

We don't want to see you slammin' in the pit, NO 

We don't want to see our girlfriends kicked, NO 

We just want to see you movin' faster and faster 

To the beat of the super ska master 

Phonys like to slam to the beat of ska 

We're not against that, but for us there's more 

To dance with us you needn't act like a jerk 

Skankin's meant for fun, not for getting hurt 

Skankin' by numbers every night and day 

Skankin' by numbers is the only way 

Get off your seat and take a chance 

Skankin' by numbers is the only way to dance 

You can shave your head or pierce your nose, NOSE 

Dress up in flannels or rudeboy clothes, CLOTHES 

But where it matters is with your shoes 

That's where ska's for your stylin' moves 

Skankin' aint just dancing it's our way of life 

Away from trouble, away from strife 

Afraid of fun? Then you had better beware 

Because on the dance floor, we don't have a care 

One! Get off your seat 

Two! Stomp your boots to the beat 

Three! Throw your knees in the air 

Four! Like you don't care 

Time to hit the floor, do it soon, SOON 

Ska music's set to fill the room, ROOM 

Have never skanked? Well it's time to start 

Soon you will be a rudeboy hot 

Finally we'd like to stop and thank our roots 

Respect the Specials, Maytals, and Toots 

Wailing Wailers, Laurel Aitken,and (english) Beat 

But most of all the Skatalites, they're music complete 

Skankin' by numbers every night and day 

Skankin' by numbers is the only way 

Get off your seat and take a chance 

Skankin' by numbers is the only way to dance 

One! Get off your seat 

Two! Stomp your boots to the beat 

Three! Throw your knees in the air 

Four! Like you don't care
